What does isotonic mean? two fluids with same osmotic pressure (concentration)
What does hypertonic mean? Solution containing higher level of salt (NaCl) than is found in living red blood cell
What does hypotonic mean? Solution with lower concentration - low osmality
What are the layers of skin? Epidermis, Dermis, Subcutaneous
Purpose of Epidermis? Waterproof - prevents loss or absorption of water,
